Remember when Stella McCartney announced she was creating 23 replicas of the unforgettable wedding reception dress she designer for Meghan Markle earlier this year?
Well, we don't know about you but at £3,500 a pop, the idea of owning the Duchess of Sussex's stunning white halter neck dress sadly remains a pipe dream.
Until now, perhaps.

American fashion website Fashion Nova has come to the rescue and released a $45 (£35) gown, aptly named 'The Royal Debut Dress', which looks nearly identical to Markle's wedding dress.
According to the website, the dress has been created in 'off white' and is made of 'stretch' material with a back zipper.
While several sizes have already sold out, the dress comes in a range of eight sizes ranging from XS to 3X (three sizes larger than XL) and has received five-star reviews.
'Fit like a glove. Totally love it,' wrote one buyer. 'I am so in loved with it very sleek and sexy for plus size woman,' added another.
At a fraction of the price, emulating the duchess' wedding day look has finally become a reality.
On 19 May, hours after stunning the world in a Givenchy bateau-neck gown designed by creative director Claire Waight Keller, Markle stepped out in her second dress - McCartney's high-neck fishtail gown - for her wedding reception at Frogmore House, Windsor.
She accessorised the look with a pair of Aquazzura cream-pointed stilettos and an aquamarine cocktail ring from Princess Diana's personal jewellery collection, gifted to the bride as a present from her husband, Prince Harry.
